How To Make Wrapping Paper

Here is an activity

 for the kids to do during christmas holidays.
Making their own wrapping paper, be it xmas, birthday or for any special occasion.
Learning how to make wrapping paper is easy and great fun for all involved.

You Will Need:

Some A4 or A3 white paper
Three or four different food colouring. Same in mixing bowls.
Straws for each bowl & water.
Detergent

Mix water, detergent and food colouing in bowls. All separate. Only use about a cup of water and add plenty of food colouring to give depth in your colours on the paper.
Place straws into water and get your child to blow, gentle, just enough to create some great bubbles.
Grab the paper and place it onto the bubbles, do this with each differnt colour.
Let your child get their creative minds working by letting them choose which colours to mix and match.

When done hang outside on the line to dry or inside in a dry area.

Let children decorate their own wrapping paper by gluing old buttons, glitter etc on to it after drying and help them to wrap their own gifts with some cool ribbons.

Tie a bow with some string and thread beads on the ends and tie a knot to stop from falling off.

A great activity to do for the whole family, why not turn off all the tv's and computers and sit down and create and laugh togther.

Have Fun.
